Joined Clemson as a walk-on (a self-professed tryout "crawl-on") in the fall of 2021 and enters 2024 having appeared in 28 career games ... credited with five career tackles and a fumble recovery ... said Head Coach Dabo Swinney, "Florenzo, he’s a weapon now. He’s a snapper but he gives us a lot in coverage. He’s made a couple big, big plays for us… He’s a really good athlete. He’ll have a chance to play in the NFL at that position because he’s a good snapper and he’s a factor in the coverage game."
